Basically if I was adding a hook to place a div into the background area I'd do it like this, (which might not be the correct way as I'm not a developer) but I've tested this quick with a background image to see if it works and it did.

Using the hook Pagelines_Page, I inserted basic html in a div with the image in. Then using css on that div, gave it absolute positioning, 100% width and height so it spanned the entire background area of the page.

Problem you'd have is that its going to be a shortcode, or a iframe. I'm not sure if the same rules would apply there with an iframe. You can insert a shortcode into a hook using the method described here by one of the developers - http://www.pagelines...tton-in-header/

basically the hook is an area in the page that you can insert content into. So you're choosing a place on the page and then adding your code into that area. The easiest way to do this is using the hooker plugin -
